Thyroid cell membranes contain a multiplicity of gangliosides, some of which inhibit thyrotropin binding to thyroid membranes. The most potent inhibitor is a ganglioside which is present in only trace amounts and appears to have a novel structure. Thyroid gangliosides may play a role in relaying the hormonal message to the thyroid cell.
甲状腺细胞膜含有多种神经节苷脂,其中一些能抑制促甲状腺激素与甲状腺膜的结合。最有效的抑制剂是一种仅以痕量存在且似乎具有新结构的神经节苷脂。甲状腺神经节苷脂可能在将激素信息传递给甲状腺细胞的过程中发挥作用。
